Each student's grade will be determined by the following criteria:

Midterm Average =  2/3 (Average of all work prior to the Midterm Exam) + 1/3 (Midterm Exam Score)

Final Grade = 1/3 (Midterm Average) + 1/3 (Average of all work assigned after the Midterm Exam and prior to the Final Exam) + 1/3 (Final Exam Score)

The following scale will be used:

            A: 90 - 100 

            B: 80 -  89 

            C: 70 -  79 

            D: 60 -  69 

            F: Below 60
